Over the past few weeks, the New Jersey Devils were missing just about every star player on the roster due to injury. With just a handful of games left, and the entire team looking like they’re from Binghamton, this was a great opportunity for players that would usually be in the owner’s box or in the minors this time of the year to show what they can really do.
There’s no chance that most of these players make the main roster next season. Even if the Devils sign nobody, the emergence of some prospects and the myriad of players returning from injury sends most of them back to the AHL for a season.
